Skim latex is the byproduct of natural rubber processing. It is treated as effluent and lavishly left in acid pond treatment which creates a lot of environmental problems. The serum extracted from skim latex was found to contain patatin-like protein which is homologous to patatin storage proteins in potato and tomato. Patatin belongs to a group of

Objective: To evaluate the various coexisting soft tissue pathology that made up "frozen shoulder" and the treatment outcomes. Design: Prospective case series report Methods: All patients with "frozen shoulder"from soft tissue origin were included in this study. A new assessment tool for "frozen shoulder" was performed integ

The study was conducted to determine the mineral contents and the textural classes of the Kemaman coastal sediments. The samples were collected using Smith Mc Intyre grab on board KL PAUS ship owned by the Fishery Department, Malaysia. The sediments were collected from 12 stations and were analysed for mineral contents and textural classes of sedim

One of the obligations set under the Convention on Biological Diversity is the protection of the rights and knowledge of indigenous and local communities. This has been the issue that has been explored at various international forums such as CBD COP, WIPO's IGC and WTO, FAO, UNCTAD, UNHCHR and WHO. Issues being investigated include access to ge

This paper aims at exploring the concept of al-dhara'i in its broad meaning, both at the preventive and proactive levels (sadd and fath aldhara'i). The application of al-dhara'i at both levels plays a significant role as a practical mechanism towards the realisation of maqasid, due to the cause effect relationship between means and obje

The BER performance for an optimal circular 16-QAM constellation is theoretically derived and applied in wavelet based OFDM system in additive white Gaussian noise channel. Signal point constellations have been discussed in much literature. An optimal circular 16-QAM is developed. The calculation of the BER is based on the four types of the decisio

In this article, we present the design of a modified crescent antenna for ultrawideband (UWB) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Different studies to optimize the design of this antenna for the UWB-RFID system have been performed, particularly to overcome the main challenges such as minimizing the size of the antenna, improving its read ran

In this paper, systems of second-order boundary value problems (BVPs) are considered. The applicability of the homotopy-perturbation method (HPM) was extended to obtain exact solutions of the BVPs directly. Dalam makalah ini, sistem masalah nilai sempadan (MNS) berperingkat dua dipertimbangkan. Kegunaan kaedah homotopi-usikan (KHU) diperluaskan bag

We report a 56-year-old Malay woman with a tumour that involved the skin and caused hyoid bone erosion. There was no clinical or radiological evidence of regional lymph node involvement. A modified radical neck dissection with preservation of the accessory nerve and internal jugular vein was performed, followed by an "extended" Sistrunk ope

The greater challenge to Aqidah at present is no longer revolving around the theological differences of the past but rather around ideological challenges advocated by western thought such as, positivism, secular humanism, liberalism and post-modernism. These ideologies not only threaten the tenets of Islamic belief but more seriously the Islamic do
